Unfortunately in our current environment, due to the rising food costs, I have decided to make some changes that will be more in line with where I am wanting to take a Divine Dish.
Since COVID I have not wanted to face reality in regards to the increased food costs and have not passed these costs on through the meals. Obviously this is not ideal!
Although I love offering the high-end meals, (at the moment) it is not currently viable to continue in the way I have been with such a broad menu.
From this week forward, I will be temporarily ceasing the individual frozen ready made meals and only providing them within a hamper form.
The Divine deli items will still be available online and this will also give me more time to create some more divine morsels. I will also be keeping the torte and desserts through the Summer months which are fabulous for entertaining.
From the beginning 15 years ago in 2008, the essence of a Divine Dish has always been about quality. I myself still do the shopping and handpick everything when creating the Divine goodness. I select the finest and the freshest provisions and support my local suppliers and farmers. I have been thinking of ways around this, but they all come down to compromising the quality and I am not prepared to do that.
The meals are going to have a much needed rest until everything settles down and food becomes more affordable – and I have hope that it will, but not just yet!
I will be concentrating on the other sides of the business which will enable me to free up some space for creativity.
I will still be offering the following services through www.adivinedish.co.nz
Divine care packages
Divine dinner party delivered
Divine deli morsels for platters and entertaining
Exclusive catering
Divine private chef service
Give me a call when you are wanting to entertain and I will save your day.
Thank you for your continued support, it is always so appreciated!
